To deprive the Kremlin of money for war: which actually requires the ceiling of oil prices from

The countries of G7 and Australia have agreed to the price ceiling for Russian oil at $ 60. per barrel. However, such a price still allows the Russian Federation to receive billions from trade in oil, and therefore continue the war in Ukraine. The optimal price for Russian oil is not higher than $ 40 per barrel. The focus was informed by economist Vitaliy Shapran. "Optimally-$ 30-40 in the long run. So far, the project has just started. Moscow needs to be trained, used to a price maximum.

Now they are faced with a choice of selling at a price agree to $ 60 and increase volumes. If they do not agree, then 30-40% of oil, which is about 80 million tons a year, will either need to pour or preserve wells when the market is trained to a new price guidance and if the Russians and further They will threaten safety in the region, I think our partners can no longer move to the $ 40 and then $ 30, "Vitaliy Shapran said.

Maxim Bilyavsky, a leading expert of the Razumkov Center's energy programs, is convinced that the decisions of the countries to set a ceiling of 60 dollars per barrel should be viewed. "At least two factors indicate the anomalities of the decision. First, the median prices for Russian oil in the last ten years is $ 69. 54 per barrel, which is only 14% higher than the ceiling installed.

It is important to note that the practice of reducing prices Provides a minimum of 50% of the discount on the average for a certain period of time. The ceiling for Russian oil should be at $ 35 per barrel. During the second half of November the actual price of Russian oil was $ 52 per barrel, which is only 13% less than the installed ceiling.

In the next week, the Russian Urals indicated and will increase the ceiling $ 60 per barrel, which will lead to minimal losses for the budget of the aggressor state at 1% of GDP, "Maxim Belyavsky commented. In his opinion, G7 should be prepared for the implementation of a radical scenario, namely to reduce the price restriction to $ 30-35/barrel. "This will lead to an aggressor state budget deficit at 5-7% and reduce the revenue by $ 90 billion," Maxim Belyavsky said.

As previously reported, the Ministry of Economy says that Ukraine intends to achieve a revision of price limitations-a decrease to $ 30-35. Earlier, Focus wrote that the European Union, G7 and Australia agreed to the ceiling of prices for Russian oil. The companies of these countries will now not be able to provide brokerage, insurance and other services for oil transportation of oil from the Russian Federation to third countries, if it is not sold at a price lower than the ceiling.
